Trends and Forecast in Retail Clinics 2012
Retail health clinics have grown from concept to a functioning part of the U.S. health care
marketplace. Retail clinics, also called convenience clinics, are mostly located in drug stores but
also in retailers such as Walmarts and Target stores, grocery stores and even malls. The basic
premise is that they take advantage of the retailers traffic, and provide defined services
generally though a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant.. Especially attractive to
customers, they offer walk in service, better hours and in some cases, lower costs. The concept
survived the recession, the opposition of medical associations and state legislatures. But market
developments have not always unfolded in line with forecasts made in the first launch of the
concept. With the development of healthcare reform in the United States, many are evaluating
these small healthcare venues inside a heavily trafficked retail setting as a one of many possible
answers to an expected increase in insured patients.
Kalorama has been watching the retail clinic industry for several years and in 2012, there are
some changes and noticeable data that has challenged some of the assumptions previously
made about these clinics. This report Retail Clinics 2012 looks at retail clinics’ impact and
growth over the next five years. The report forecasts the growth of stores with clinics, the sales
of the clinics and takes a look at changing consumer opinion of clinics. It also looks at the sales
that pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies may make through retail clinics.
Although different operators employ slightly different approaches, the overall business model
for retail clinics is quite consistent. It involves the provision of basic healthcare services at a low
cost, in a facility conveniently located in a busy retail outlet, with broad hours of operation.
Locations such as drug stores, food stores and other popular retail outlets with pharmacies
enable patient accessibility and make it easy for patients to get their prescriptions filled nearby.
They can also encourage customers to stay longer at the store and make more purchases,
providing indirect income to the retail outlet.
